A Kenyan company is transforming human faeces into eco-fuel, offering a sustainable energy alternative that combats deforestation. This innovative approach addresses energy demand while protecting forests.

The revolutionary fuel, made from human waste, sawdust, and rose waste, burns twice as long as local charcoal with one-third of the emissions. Each tonne sold saves approximately 88 trees, prevents pollution, and creates local jobs.

This initiative, part of the #OurPlanet collaboration with the World Economic Forum, highlights what's possible in tackling climate change and restoring nature.

The Center's Urban Wildlands program protects big cats and other wildlife by halting urban sprawl into adjacent wildlands, ensuring vital space and connectivity. Uncontrolled development in these areas heightens fire risk, increases car dependency, and isolates wildlife populations, particularly mountain lions. This year, significant progress was made in securing greater protections for California's mountain lions and stopping harmful projects.

Learn more about our efforts to safeguard California's mountain lions and wildlife corridors, and discover how you can contribute. The program features insights from Dr. Tiffany Yap, a senior scientist and wildlife corridor advocate, and J.P. Rose, Urban Wildlands Staff Attorney.

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.
